I know this is controversial, but here is a small four patch
series to let you insert arbitrary external filter in checkin
and checkout codepath.

[PATCH 1/4] Simplify calling of CR/LF conversion routines
[PATCH 2/4] convert.c: restructure the attribute checking part.
[PATCH 3/4] lockfile: record the primary process.
[PATCH 4/4] Add 'filter' attribute and external filter driver definition.


[1/4] is Alex's earlier patch, rebased on top of 'next'.

[3/4] is necessary for the series because otherwise 'git add'
would not work with any external filter, but the change is
applicable to 'master'.

[4/4] is the body of the change.  I wanted to like run-command.h
process spawning infrastructure, but I suspect I did not use it
optimally.  People who were more involved in its evolution
hopefully have suggestions for better use of it.
